Loving You Is Like the Rain
I hope you enjoy watching me drown in it.
You know that feeling you get when it starts to rain
A sudden shock followed by comfort
Pull on a jacket
Get warm and cozy
Read a book
Drink some tea
While you listen to the repetitious pitter-patter on your window
But then as you go outside
The story changes
You are quick to put up an umbrella
A border between you and the unwanted
Shielding yourself from becoming overly saturated
There is now too much at once
You are overwhelmed by it
It was nice to look at from afar
But now you are forced to be among the rain
Which does not feel as pretty as it sounds
The rain is like my love for you
It started out with a few drops here and there
But out of nowhere crashed down
An immense amount of love
But it is just unrequited
Love being wasted just for you
Not even a glimmer of appreciation is shown
You hide from it under your umbrella
Not sure if you want to feel it
Shaking and startled
But I dance in it
So soaking with liquid love I cannot bring myself to stop
No time to think anything through
Feelings get deeper and deeper
And you just back farther and farther out of the rain
You will never know how my love is like the rain
Constantly denying the rain a chance
Too scared to let even one drop fall upon your cheek
You will never know how hard, how long this rain has poured down for you
Loving you is like a storm
But instead of falling from the sky
The rain pours down from my eyes
